Antonio Conte told reporters he thought his Chelsea side did enough to beat Atletico Madrid in their final Champions League group game.

Saul Niguez gave the Spaniards the lead but a Stefan Savic own goal got the reigning Premier League champions back on level terms.

The result, coupled with Roma's win over Qarabag means the Blues surrendered top spot in Group C, opening up the possibility of facing Paris St Germain or Barcelona in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

However, with games still to be played on Wednesday evening there is still a chance Chelsea could meet Besiktas instead, meaning Blues fans will be glued to TV's on Wednesday evening.

Blues boss Conte, who's future at Stamford Bridge is very much up in the air, faced the media for his post-match press conference after that clash with the Spanish giants and we have every word he told reporters right here.

Thoughts on the performance?

"I think, tonight, it was a good game. A good performance. I think we deserved to win the game. When you create so many chances to score – important chances, not simple chances – you have to try to take them.

"Instead, the goalkeeper was the best player for them. In other circumstances, we could be more accurate in our finishing. But, at the same time, we conceded a goal that shows we must improve.

"From a corner... there were a lot of mistakes. When you play this type of big game, the little details are important and shape the final result. Maybe we went 1-0 down in our best moment.

"But we tried to find the strength to draw and try to win. For this reason, we must be pleased for our group (campaign). It was a really tough group, and Atletico Madrid, in the past, played a fantastic Champions League and twice reached the final. It means our group was very tough."

"When you go through to the next round in this competition, you must be prepared to face the best teams. We could play against Barcelona, PSG or Besiktas, but we must be ready. This is the best tournament.

"That's why you want to go through and try and be a protagonist in this tournament. At the same time, our opponents won't be happy to play against us.

"We'll see what happens. I remember during the European Championship with the national team we finished first in our group and played agianst Spain, then Germany and, if we'd beaten Germany, we'd have to play France. Sometimes it's not so important (to finish first). We reached the next round and we must be happy with this. After a performance like this, the coach must be (happy)."

"Bakayoko is a young player. He's only 23 years old. He's working. He's working to try to improve, to try to go into our idea of football. In this case, it's important to continue to work and have patience, to understand that, sometimes, there are mistakes.

"They're normal during games. Not only with him, but with every player. I have to try to continue to work and improve my players, especially if a player is 23 years old. This means he has a lot of space for improvement. But, I repeat, I'm very happy with his commitment, with his work."

"The best way for us is to go game by game, game by game. I think I continue to repeat always the same concept: we are trying to build something important for this club. Don't forget that, in these two years, we are changing many players. We are trying to bring down the average age in this team. We have just started our work, though.

"Last season we won the league, but it was a surprise. This season I think we are working very well to try to improve, to try to do our best in the league. To try to do our best in the Champions League. But we have to go game by game and try to do our best in every game. You have to show you deserve to go through to the next round in the Champions League.

"We have to show we deserve to fight until the end fo the title. In this league, there is a team who are doing an incredible path otherwise we'd be there, with Manchester United or Liverpool. They have won 14 of 15 games, and drawn only one, so that means they are doing an incredible path.

"But it's important for us to look at ourselves, to try and improve our tema, to build a solid foundation for the present and the future. This is my idea. We are working a lot to achieve this result."

Can an English team win the Champions League this season?

"It's true that the level of this league is very high. Very high. To go with five teams into the next round, that means the level of the league is very high and there is a lot of quality in the players. I think there are also really good coaches. Yes, this league is very tough. Very tough. This Champions League is showing this.

"I think it was not simple, but easy for a lot of these teams to go into the next round. But, in the future, we have to see. Don't forget: here the season is very tough.

"You have to play a lot of games. When you accumulate games, games, games and then you arrive at the final stage, playing in the quarters or the semis, the English teams have a lot of games in their legs.

"For this reason, it could be problematic to win. But, at the same time, the English teams are very good and have the possibility to win and reach the final of the Champions League. I just ask in which physical condition you arrive in that last stage to play in the Champions League (final)."
